When selling or managing industrial properties which contain complex machinery, clients often need precise measurements to assess a property’s suitability. Standard 2D plans can’t answer crucial buyer questions like:
- What’s the exact clearance height under a specific place along a raked roof structure?
- What are the clearances under power lines, past trees and poles, with turning circles and the size of garage doors to ensure the large equipment will make it into the space?
- What is the current state of all the fixtures and finished in the space?
These questions require reliable, highly accurate measurements, especially for buyers planning architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and fire modifications. 3D Point Clouds – the output file of a 3D laser scanner – can be viewed online or downloaded by architects, engineers and builders to use in their design and management software to accurately fit their proposals within the space.
Meet LARKI’s 3D Viewer Platform – A Game Changer for Industrial Real Estate
LARKI provides access to 3D laser scan (LiDAR) technology, where every detail of an industrial property can be captured in millimetre precision via an 3D viewer web app. Users can measure down lights, structural trusses and stair treads in an interactive, immersive environment online. Here are some benefits:
1. Instantly Answer Critical Buyer Questions:
Instead of guesswork or travel and site measure-ups, buyers can access reliable, up-to-date 3D data on the web app. For example, on LARKI’s platform, buyers and facility managers can measure the length and angle of a roof for solar installation. This ability to verify dimensions, from the comfort of their own location, means the world is a prospect, whether they’re in Hong Kong, London, or Melbourne.
2. Explore with Virtual Walkthroughs and Customizable Views
The 3D point clouds and LARKI’s platform is like a CT scan of a building. This digital twin lets buyers “cut the top off” the building to view its layout by 360 photos setting through in the virtual tour, or freely navigate in 3D, top-down plan view, vertical cut section or side-on elevation views. They can use section cuts to inspect the floor to ceiling heights, wall thicknesses, or structural angles. This ability to “look inside” without physically being there gives buyers an unmatched sense of the space and its dimensions.
3. Share Specific Views Instantly
The saved views and uploaded files can be shared with other stakeholders for online collaboration. The agents and managers can share exact perspectives in a click and a direct link to that specific view or measurements to directly and easily answer specific prospect questions without delay.
4. Document Key Features with Annotations and Links
Buyers can identify equipment, view notes, or access manuals linked directly in the 3D model, ensuring they have all the information they need in one place. You can tag points of interest (POIs) with exact coordinates, making it easy to find equipment and manage the facility.
Key Benefits of 3D Scanning for Property Buyers
For buyers, LARKI’s 3D measurable digital time and virtual tours eliminate unknowns, so they can make the buying decision with confidence. With every dimension verified and at their fingertips, they can ensure that machinery will fit, plan layouts, identify equipment and understand the property’s spatial dynamics, all without in-person visits, vastly improving convenience and cutting purchase time and cost.
Key Benefits of 3D Scanning for Real-estate Agents and Owners
For real estate agents and property owners, this technology doesn’t just add convenience — it adds value. The digital twin is a virtual asset that will help the prospect buy but also run the facility. You’re not just offering a physical property; you’re delivering a replica of the property on the internet, making it quicker and easier than ever to close deals, without people having to visit the site in person.
